And the landlord is allowed to attend to maintain the property (subject to any notification requirements in the lease, but such requirements may be overridden in some circumstances). It is indeed a legal matter. | |

That cuts both ways - you can't house extra people in the unit, and neither can the landlord. Please check your lease. | |

| Mar 29, 2021 at 21:21 | comment | added | TylerH | @yoozer8 it would be a bigger issue if someone other than the landlord were living there. OP still has a lease. What if they came back to find another tenant there? Whose habitation rights/lease terms would trump the others? The landlord probably has some right to co-habitate at their own leisure depending on the local law and OP's lease terms, but I doubt there's any jurisdiction that lets a landlord straight-up double -book tenants and charge them both in the same living space so long as one person happens to be on vacation. | |

Changed title to reflect the question being asked; rewored answer to remove fluff/extraneous content.

| Mar 29, 2021 at 14:00 | comment | added | Kylie | Our lease has not been terminated he just told us to try and find a tenant to take over the lease for us and then we wouldn’t have to pay the last two months rent but I could not find anyone and I told him this. So technically we still have a lease with that property until may 31st. I don’t know how to post photos on here. It’s my first time using the site. | |

| Mar 29, 2021 at 13:37 | comment | added | Lou | Can you show us the relevant part of your lease? When I rented, if I terminated the lease early, I was only liable for rent until they found a new tenant. | |

| Mar 29, 2021 at 13:22 | comment | added | Kylie | The Rental property is located in South Florida | |
